RIM to capitulate on India BlackBerry access

Firm will provide access to communications to prevent permanent ban

RIM is about to provide authorities in India with access to communications
sent via the encrypted BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) in a bid to avoid a
ban in the country.

Reports in the
Mint
newspaper in India claim that government sources have said that the two parties
have reached an agreement.

"[RIM] has in principle agreed to provide us with recorded data from their
servers. They have assured us they will discuss the issue first among themselves
and find a way to meet our demands. Later, they would be providing live access
to BES," the government is reported to have said.

RIM did not respond to a request for comment when contacted by
V3.co.uk.

The move will mean that up to one million BlackBerry users in India could
have their communications intercepted and read at any time, a situation that may
prompt many customers, especially businesses, to consider alternative handsets.
